Effect of niacinamide and 1-methyl-niacinamide on vasorelaxation. Isolated porcine subcutaneous arteries were preconstricted with U46619 (1 μM) followed by stimulation with niacinamide or 1-methyl-niacinamide in cumulatively increasing concentrations. (a) Representative recordings of contractile force during preconstriction (arrow indicates time for addition of U46619) and stimulation with niacinamide or 1-methyl-niacinamide. (b) Vasorelaxation is given as a percentage between preconstricted tone (0% vasorelaxation) and baseline tone (100% vasorelaxation). Data are mean ± SEM for six animals (niacinamide) and two animals (1-methyl-niacinamide). For each animal, data from 2–4 vessel segments with each compound were averaged. CI, confidence interval; EC50, half-maximum effective concentration.
